City Centre Mall, IT Park, Chandigarh. The blood donation camp will be
conducted by a medical team of Command Hospital, Western Command, Chandimandir.

While addressing the Media, Vivek Mehra said that the blood
donation camp is a small contribution and a way to pay an ode to the Indian
Armed forces, who lay down their lives defending India without thinking
even once. This will be a great opportunity for the country to
create a 'Blood Bond' with our brothers in uniform and contribute directly for
the welfare of our beloved Indian Army. The blood will only be used for the
welfare of jawans, officers, veterans and their dependents.
He emphasized that though the government has created several
mediums to contribute for the welfare of armed forces, due to a lack of
awareness among civilians, they are not able to offer their support to the
Indian Armed Forces.
Jagjit Singh Majha, MD, PCL Gateway and a Philanthropist said
that we are supporting this blood donation camp under our corporate social
responsibility. The camp is a wonderful opportunity for all the people to pay
gratitude to our real heroes, who are round the clock doing their duty at the
borders.
Col(Retd.) Jarnail Singh, Deputy Director, Defence Services
Welfare Punjab said that Punjab's Defence Services Welfare department is happy
to be collaborating with this noble initiative. He congratulates NGO 'I am
Still Human' to have undertaken campaign 'Shaurya' under which it is organising
many activities for welfare of the Indian Army. The blood donation camp is a
need of the hour as this precious gift of life is much in need by the Indian
Army. Col Singh also enumerated various welfare measures being taken
by the Punjab government for serving as well as retired army personnel of
Punjab.
The camp will witness an impressive Army theme décor. An army
band will also be in attendance. It is noteworthy that 'I Am Still Human' under
the 'Shaurya' campaign before the upcoming blood donation camp has already
successfully organised 8 camps at different places including capital New
Delhi. IASH took out a bike rally from Chandigarh to Mumbai in memory of
the brave-hearts martyred in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack. What's more
under ‘Shaurya Ye Diwali Veer Pariwaar Ke Saath' the IASH volunteers
took out a bike rally from Chandigarh to Jabalpur to pay tribute to children of
Indian Army martyrs.
